I had my first surgeries 1990, but had been having symptoms for about 5 + years before that. I could never keep up with dictation in lectures at school without hideous burning pain in arms neck and hands and also always had cold hands . The bil rib extras found in 1988 when felt lump by collarbone.
Seemed to have a break for a few years and then 2004 back with a vengance!!
